Cruelty to animals

[crashinc25]

We are all hypocrites. We keep fish that belong in open natural waters.

what did you mention my dog for.. i do not believe in any animal cruelty in any way.. and if you did not understand what i said then i don't know how else to explain it.. if it were up to me all animals would never be hunted, slaughtered or abused.. but i have to remain in reality...and i am sooo sensitive that i could not watch a video like that.

Based on this, I suppose you are a Vegan? Because of the obvious treatment of my steak, of course. This discussion could go on for decades with no agreement.

This may be true, but the goldfish dies in seconds, the arowana had to suffer for 20 minutes before it finally died. So how is that equal?

i bet you saw one video where the aro was suffering for 20 and another where the gf where goobled in seconds.

now reverse thhat senario, its no different. both can suffer equally, all depends on how willing and hungry piranhas are.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. There were some people on here that stated that he can do what he wants because they are his animals and it is his choice. These people probably also think it is OK to Dog Fight, but as we all know that is not legal, because it is cruel. This video is no different than dog fighting. This was not done because he wanted to feed his P's. It was done because he enjoys watching a fish fight for his life. Period.

i don't get why people regard feeders as being a more humane source of live food than more ornamental fish. what makes them so different? i am not against live food, i see nothing wrong with it if the food has been treated humanely but i really don't like people bragging about how their monster fish is such an awesome fish because of how much carnage it causes. if there are better food optioins out there(nutritionally) then i think the fish should be fed those and the "feeder" fish should be left at the petstore.

to add, i don't see any point in live food. Whatever it is suffers. Live food should be given as a last resort only when a fish will eat nothing else while still trying to get it on non livefood sources. Anyone who buys feeders are doing it for the enjoyment of watching what happens, and usually not even for a half decent reason.

You can stimulate the same reaction with a nice piece of raw bloody meat from the store or some market shrimp. You also do not have to film it and post it up for everyone if it was simply for feeding purposes.

and you don't have to watch it, at one time that raw bloody meat was an animal too

live food is the best nutrition you can give to any predatory fish.

scales, bones, organ, hair, muscle, chitin the entire animal itself is nutritionally superior or anything else.
